Can someone recommend an eSATA PCI host adapter that has a built in

Ideally the card should have four eSATA ports and supports multiple

drives on each connection.

You missed the point.

If you cloned your old system to a raid
there will be no reference to the raid signature in boot.ini
as you were previously booting from a simple volume

Since the the boot adapter.

Although I know your system will not be able to boot until boot.ini
references the RAID signature, rather than a simple volume...I have no
idea how Windows actually assigns the signature.

What I am trying to explain is that I did NOT use Windows software RAID to
build the volume. I am using hardware RAID and Windows XP sees the RAID 5
array as a single Basic Disk with a single bootable Active Simple Partition.


That was obvious

Like I said if you had taken my advice you would have been up and
running days ago

sheesh
